Some happy news... and more flowers

I am really excited to share with you guys something that has been in the works since January. For the past few months, I've had the great pleasure of working with the amazing Joy of Oh Joy! as she designed a logo for me for my photography business (crazy just saying that out loud). Oh yes, this shit is getting serious. My to-do list is growing every day, my startup costs are rising at frightening speed, but I love it all and am completely dedicated to making this succeed. And you know what? Failure is just not an option.

So what does this really mean for me right now? Well, ok so not THAT much of my day-to-day is actually changing. Of course I'm still working my full-time day job, so this means sneaking in every opportunity I can to shoot for others and make my portfolio more well-rounded. I'm getting business cards made and will hopefully soon have set up a legit website with my best work. I know this isn't groundbreaking stuff and many of you might not make such a big deal out of a logo, but to me, this signals a giant step towards my goal of becoming a REAL food/lifestyle photographer.

Without further ado, I present...

I am still amazed at how detailed the steps were to creating something like this and I couldn't be happier with the results. And finally, to layer on some cheese, I hope this will be the start of a beautiful and unpredictable journey. :)

And to leave this post, I know you guys are probably sick of ranunculus shots, but I simply could not resist. No matter what happens, I'm going to keep shooting for myself and well, that will just unavoidably involve things like this.

POP! (goes the champagne) What wonderful news Alice! You are going to surely go far with this. Your logo is so fitting and beautiful. I just opened my own online shop recently and loved it but realised a lot of work goes into bringing it together. I wish you all the luck lovely lady. Your work is inspirational. And I love that you are still going to shoot for you and keep shooting flowers as much as you want.

YAY! This is so exciting! I'm so happy for you and cannot wait to see your website! It will definitely be hard to choose what will go into that portfolio of yours! Your logo is great and I also follow Joy from Oh Joy! so that's really neat how things in the blogosphere all connect!

Oh wow Alice, congrats on the huge move :D You have the eye and the style to succeed and I don't doubt that for a second. Love the new logo too! Looking forward to the pictures from your future projects :D

About

The title, "Lingered Upon," is taken from one of my favorite T.S. Eliot poems, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." Here, it could mean that I lingered upon some moment and made a photo of it. On this blog, you'll find both personal work and "work" work, with plenty of travel and style mixed in.
